Mera High Camp

Island Peak (6160 m), a.k.a. Imjatse, is also in Khumbu Himal in the Sagarmatha region, and this endeavor will also take some two weeks of your time. The first thing is to fly to Lukla from where you start trekking along the following route: Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tangboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Kala Patthar (5545 m; from where you get a fantastic close up view of Mount Everest), Chhukung, and finally, Imjatse Base Camp. In between trekking from one point to another, you take rest days to acclimatize yourself to the rising altitude. Climbing the peak is not too difficult as it is said to be a non-technical climb and any reasonably fit person should have no problem climbing it. However, it is a demanding climb, as most climbs up icy slopes are bound to be.
